    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Rob Zombie had to have a few days worth of footage shipped off for developing at the start of production, the film canisters were accidentally x-rayed by airport security, ruining the film reels and forcing several days worth of re-shoots.
    • Goofs
      (at around 42 mins) During Loomis's interview in front of the dilapidated Myer's house it is obviously not the same house used in the previous film.
    • Quotes

      [from alternate ending]

      Michael Myers: [before stabbing Loomis] Die!

    • Crazy credits
      Stills of crime scene photographs of Michael's murders are shown over the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      The Director's Cut runs 14 minutes longer (119 minutes). Among the changes:
      • The opening scene with Laurie walking and Loomis being placed into the ambulance is longer.
      • The hospital dream scene has an extra sequence of Laurie attempting to cross over a pile of bodies.
      • An on screen title that said "One Year Later" in the Theatrical Cut now says "Two Years Later."
      • During the breakfast scene, Laurie and Annie now argue about going to the psychiatrist.
      • More dialogue with Laurie and the psychiatrist. Laurie looks at a framed inkblot on a wall and says that it looks like a white horse.
      • Loomis' press conference is expanded. Loomis discusses Michael's Oedipal complex, as well as the idea that Michael perhaps saw Loomis as a father figure.
      • Added sequence where Laurie runs a bath and begins to freak out.
      • Laurie stopping to play with a pig on her way to work is removed. She instead goes to the psychiatrist and tells her about playing with the pig (we see a few seconds of it, now in flashback), and how it triggered a nervous breakdown of sorts. When the shrink denies her more pills, Laurie freaks out and swears.
      • The scene where Annie finds Laurie drinking a beer in her room has been expanded: They have another fight.
      • A non-masked Michael (along with Young Michael and his mother) angrily looks at a billboard that advertises Loomis' book.
      • When Laurie and Maya come home from the party, there is a short added sequence of them making tea in the kitchen prior to going upstairs. There's also an added shot of Michael apparently walking out of the house.
      • Brackett's reaction to finding Annie's body is longer, containing video flashbacks of real-life actress Danielle Harris as a child.
      • The ending is significantly different: After Loomis enters the cabin, Michael throws him through a wall, and the two of them wind up outside. Michael then removes his mask, yells "DIE!", and stabs Loomis. The cops then open fire and kill Michael. Laurie then comes out, takes Michael's knife, and approaches Loomis with it, implying that she may stab him. The cops then open fire on her and seemingly kill her. We then fade to the same hospital footage seen at the end of the theatrical cut as a cover of "Love Hurts" plays on the soundtrack.

    not as good as Zombie's first Halloween remake

    Zombie's first remake was a little different by having a background story of a young Michael Myers and how he turned into a killer. This movie was just your typical slasher film; plus it was annoying as to how many dream sequences there were. The film picks up were the last one left off. Somehow a dead Michael Myers escapes a crashed coroner van and brutally kills the van's passenger. A year later and it's almost Halloween again. Michael has visions of his mother, a white horse, and his younger self telling him to bring them all home, including his sister. So, we are too believe Michael has been living for a year in hiding and not killing and all of a sudden knows it's Halloween so returns to his hometown. We have some kills at a strip club and some rednecks. And before long he's chasing Laurie.

    FINAL VERDICT: There are a few good scenes for the gore fans and that's the best thing I can say about the movie. I wouldn't pay to see it, but if you catch it on cable, it's good for a bad horror movie.
